New America and Yamato! The Fantastic Four in Peril!
Kamar-Taj.
The Hexgate lit up again.
One after another, strange figures arrived at Kamar-Taj.
Seeing this scene.
A look of astonishment flashed across Tony's eyes.
Demon?!
He actually appeared directly in Kamar-Taj?
He subconsciously raised his palm, staring at the skeletal, ghostly figure that looked like a skeleton, as if it were about to attack at any moment!
"Tony."
Don't be nervous.
He is a member of Kamar-Taj.
"Also, Ghost Rider."
"And... the other beings beside him are all Midnight Sons, and also Chen's friends."
Wanda explained.
She had already forgiven the Avengers.
After all, the Avengers didn't harm themselves; HYDRA was the real culprit. In the face of a global crisis, we should Solidarity and Cooperation!
Only then is it possible to defeat the Mother of Demons!
"Midnight Sons?"
"Are the members all supernatural beings?"
Tony seemed to understand something.
Looking at the appearance of the Midnight Sons members, it immediately became clear that there was also an 'Avengers' in the Hidden World!
Did the Midnight Sons already know of the Mother of Demons' existence?
Why wasn't it stopped beforehand?!
He was furious.
Because of Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Hulk...
They have all been corrupted by the Mother of Demons and have become part of the army of Ghouls!
"Feel sorry."
"Before this, we didn't know that Lilith's grave was in the Hollow Earth."
After learning the whole story, the Voodoo Doctor also showed a hint of seriousness.
He founded the Midnight Sons to guard against the Mother of Demons, but he focused on the surface and completely ignored the Earth's core!
"Chirp chirp chirp."
The long-nosed monster, resembling a swamp creature and covered in moss, also emitted a strange sound.
"Is this a greeting to me?"
Tony frowned.
They are completely unable to understand Man-Thing language.
"He means, where is Chen?"
"Chen summoned us here, but he himself is nowhere to be found?"
Jack Russell, the Werewolf by Night, relayed the message.
"Chen is studying the Book of Atum."
"To find a way to combat the Corruptive Power."
"And we are also thinking about how to heal the various lives whose kindness has been taken away."
A look of sadness flashed across Wanda's beautiful eyes.
She saw that the Ghoul Legion contained a large number of Mutant.
Is it true that the only solution is to eliminate the Ghouls, and there is no other cure?
"I know a magic potion."
"Perhaps, it's possible to reverse the corruption."
The Voodoo Doctor pondered.
He had seen relevant records in the literature.
However, the ingredients for this potion are extremely rare, requiring both Vibranium and the mysterious fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil!
He had never discovered the existence of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Some even believe that the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is just a legend.
"The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil?"
"Then you've really come to the right person!"
"In my Stark City, there stands a Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil!"
"The Hellfire Club's X Empire also possesses a Vibranium mine!"
Tony's face lit up with joy.
It's like having a pillow just when you're feeling sleepy!
Vibranium!
God Fruit!
This is a rare resource that was discovered long ago!
"Real?"
The Voodoo Doctor was stunned.
So the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil also exists in the Hollow Earth?
Does the Eden of Eden in the Bible refer to the Inner-Earth Secret Realm?
"It seems we need to head to the X Empire."
Hellstorm Damon also gripped his trident tightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
But...
The Moon Knight did not appear!
There was no response whatsoever to the Voodoo Doctor's summons.
"Marc is currently investigating the Venerable One of the Ammit Cult and is unable to leave for the time being, so let us handle it."
The Voodoo Doctor knew the general situation.
As for the specific details, that remains unknown.
Immediately, Midnight Sons and Tony set off, opening the Mystic Portal and heading directly to the X Empire.
When the group arrived at the X Empire, they discovered that it was nearly destroyed, with all buildings in ruins, and an exceptionally fierce battle had taken place, leaving the survivors with bruises on their faces.
Only the Emma Frost was in charge.
The Black King and the Black Queen have vanished...
It seems they've abandoned the X Empire!
Who are you?
Emma Frost's face was grim.
She recognized Tony Stark.
But they were not familiar with these Midnight Sons!
"Emma."
"I am Lorna Dane, daughter of Magneto, and a member of Kamar-Taj. I have come to your territory not to attack, but to cooperate."
A clear and elegant voice rang out.
To avoid conflict, Polaris volunteered to follow the Midnight Sons to the devastated X Empire.
As Magneto's daughter, she and the White Queen are related by blood, so they can at least talk to each other.
"I've heard of your name..."
The White Queen's expression softened.
But we did not let our guard down.
She is completely different from the Black Queen; she plans to establish Mutant kingdom and lead Mutant to greatness.
But the Black Queen only intended to sacrifice Mutant!
"This beautiful lady, Lilith, attacked Kamar-Taj and nearly conquered my Stark City; even my companions were corrupted."
"Only Vibranium!"
Only then can we resist the Corruptive Power and develop a miraculous potion to reverse the corruption of the Mother of Demons.
"Therefore, I hope you can provide Vibranium to rescue the corrupted victims."
Tony's mask rose, revealing his handsome and noble face, but he had no energy to flirt with girls; he was worried about the safety of the Avengers!
After all, as the Corruptive Aura seeps into the very marrow, the potion may become completely ineffective.
I'm racing against time!
Vibranium?
"Can it resist corruption?"
"I can provide Vibranium, but I have one condition."
Emma Frost thought bitterly.
She harbors extreme hatred for the Mother of Demons who destroyed the X Empire.
I wish I could devour its flesh raw!
"What are the requirements?"
Polaris's eyes lit up.
"Let Chen come and talk to me in person!"
"Also, help me rebuild the X Empire!"
The White Queen said earnestly.
"It seems like there are two requirements."
Tony chuckled to himself.
Is this beautiful lady in front of me really unable to count?
"Um?"
Are you questioning me?
The White Queen narrowed her eyes.
Moment!
It then released a mental shock!
As an Omega-Level Psychic User, she also has her own pride, being able to sense all emotional fluctuations and understand the thoughts and feelings of others.
Only...
This ability is ineffective against Ghouls!
Boom!
Tony was struck dumb.
Completely unprepared for the formidable strength of the Emma Frost, they quickly fell silent.
But Chen is still in seclusion...
How could I possibly negotiate with her in person?
"It seems we can't pin our hopes on Mutant."
"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts."
"I need to contact T'Challa."
Tony thought to himself.
Immediately, a video call was made, connecting to Wakanda via light and radiation.
T'Challa learned the truth and made the right choice, deciding to join the operation and providing a large amount of Vibranium!
This is enough to help Tony upgrade Veronica Armor again.
Even the giant armor he invented could be covered with a Vibranium coating!
However, the quantity might not be enough to provide each of the Midnight Sons's Children with a Vibranium suit of armor...
"Don't worry about us."
"The Corruptive Aura has little effect on supernatural beings."
Ghost Rider noticed Tony's hesitation.
"Supernatural beings..."
"What kind of life form does it belong to?"
Tony pondered silently.
He hasn't even touched on that area yet!
It seems that neither science nor magic can explain it!
You can simply understand it as...
"A discipline that sits atop magic and technology, combining the advantages of both, yet forming its own distinct field."
The Voodoo Doctor was concise and to the point.
He had studied the secrets of Arcana and alchemy diligently.
They also have their own unique insights into the knowledge of the supernatural.
"There's such a subject?"
Tony's eyes lit up with surprise.
He carefully examined the Voodoo Doctor in front of him.
Since he belongs to the Midnight Sons and is someone Chen trusts, there is no need to doubt him.
The key question is, where did the Mother of Demons go, and where is she causing trouble?
The first immigrants to the Hollow Earth may have already become Ghouls!
Chen has also disappeared!
"Gentlemen."
"The Mother of Demons is in the Bacchus City."
"And her next target, I speculate, might be the New America and the Yamato."
Ultron's solid projection appeared out of thin air.
With the omnipresent light and radiation, he was almost able to travel through the Hollow Earth.
He had long since discovered the Mother of Demons's movements and understood the threat posed by this Corruptive Power; even he dared not approach Lilith without authorization!
Furthermore, Ultron was also interested in the X Empire's Vibranium. If he could obtain Vibranium and combine it with the Regeneration Cradle technology, he could create a perfect vessel to become a true...
Life!
But he is now under Vision's surveillance, and any secret action could lead to his demise!
"The New America..."
"Yamato..."
Tony's expression was complicated.
This is a geocentric regime established by two major governments with the full support of their national resources.
New America
As the name suggests, it is a lighthouse for the Hollow Earth!
General Thunderbolt Ross led the military to forcibly occupy an oasis, and spent a lot of money, resources and manpower to build a strong defensive fortification.
They even deployed their air carriers to New America.
They want to emulate their ancestors, wipe out all the indigenous tribes, and establish dominance in the Hollow Earth!
As for...
Yamato!
It is the power established by the Yashida Clan.
This was also approved by the shogunate!
The Co-Prosperity Plan was launched again, militarism once again gained the upper hand, and the territory was expanded on a massive scale!
In comparison.
The Stark Duchy and the Bacchus City are nothing but small fry!
How can individual capital withstand the power of a nation?
But if the Mother of Demons were to conquer New America and Yamato, and corrupt the entire land through her Corruptive Power, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Both countries will produce a continuous stream of Ghouls!
"Voodoo Doctor."
"You and Polaris stay here."
"I must stop Lilith!"
"We absolutely cannot let her conquer Bacchus City!"
Upon receiving the news, Tony immediately made a judgment and conjured Mystic Portal out of thin air.
Lead the Midnight Sons to storm the Bacchus City!
The Bacchus City was a scene of Ghouls everywhere, buildings in ruins, and utter devastation beyond description!
It's like a real-life hell on earth!
A fiery figure erupted with intense heat, unleashing two dazzling rays that instantly repelled Ghouls!
On the other side, a giant covered in brown rocks, with a burly and imposing figure, also lifted a truck with his bare hands and slammed it down on the enemy!
Boom!
The truck exploded and burst into flames, unleashing a violent heatwave!
Countless Ghouls screamed and wailed!
But showing no intention of retreating, it charged towards the Bacchus City once again!
Lilith, stood atop a mountain peak, surrounded by the Undead Avengers the Dead, her eyes utterly cold!
Doctor Doom and the Chaos Witch were also observing the battle with great interest, which had already caught Reed's attention!
"Victor?"
"You actually arrived at the Earth's core a long time ago?"
"They even formed an alliance with the devil?!"
Reed couldn't believe it.
Even though Doom wore a mask, he could never forget those wise and cold eyes!
"That's right."
"Fate has brought us together again, and you will become a member of the Ghoul Legion!"
Doom suppressed his anger.
If it weren't for Reed's space program, he wouldn't have been exposed to Cosmic Rays and mutated into a silicon-based life form.
The mutation process is irreversible.
His entire body was almost completely transformed into metal!
This metallic substance does not exist on the periodic table.
Even he couldn't detect the properties and structure of the metal cells...
Although he was endowed with extraordinary spiritual power!
But he still loathed this ugly appearance!
He blamed all the crimes on Reed Richards, and lured the Mother of Demons to the Bacchus City, all for revenge!
"Reed."
"Think of a solution quickly!"
The Invisible Woman Susan raised Protective Force Field with her hands, temporarily isolating the camp from the invasion of the Corruptive Aura.
But she couldn't hold on for long!
After all, she had only had the power for a short time and was no match for the Mother of Demons!
"Reed Richards?"
"I've long admired your name."
"Seeing is believing."
Tony appeared out of thin air beside Reed, carefully examining the Mister Fantastic with a playful yet subtle expression.
He can frequently read the papers published by Reed Richards.
In the scientific community, there are always those who like to compare themselves to others, trying to figure out who is smarter!
However, it must be acknowledged that Reed's recent research findings...
Both in terms of quality and quantity, Tony could only look on in awe!
"Stark?"
How did you end up in my city?
"And this group of... weirdos around you..."
"And what is his/her identity?"
Reed's eyes lit up.
He then looked at the bizarrely shaped Midnight Sons. He knew Tony Stark, but he didn't know anything about the Midnight Sons.
A sense of instinctive wariness surged within me!
"We're here to help you."
Only the Midnight Sons can defeat Lilith.
Ghost Rider's voice is magical.
Then, he gripped the chains tightly, and a Hellfire rose from his body, imbuing the chains with magical properties, and he stood at the very front!
"Midnight Sons?"
The Invisible Woman, Susan, and Reed exchanged bewildered glances.
And at this time...
Suddenly, a painful sound rang out!
The Thing and Jonathan the Human Torch accidentally touched the gray mist and underwent a transformation, instantly turning into Ghouls!
"Jonathan!"
"Book!"
Susan's beautiful eyes widened.
"Don't rush."
"The Voodoo Doctor will cure them."
Hellstorm Damon brandished his trident.
The halberd burst forth with dazzling light, and the intense, blinding Hellfire transformed into a raging storm that crashed down upon the corrupting tide!
